To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, REINHART VON SEYD- LITZ, a subject of the King ofBavaria, and a resident of Munich, Bavaria, Germany, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Looms for Weaving Turkish Carpets and LikeFabrics, (for which I have obtained patents in Austria-Hungary,No.11,743 and No. 32,758, dated September 28, 1889; in France, No.197,108, dated May 27,1889; in Belgium, No. 85,632, dated April 15,1889;-in England, No. 5,560, dated April 1, 1889; in Germany No. 51,429,dated March 12, 1889,and in Italy, No. 25,390, dated August 1, 1889,) ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the weaving of Turkish carpets, and other pilefabricswoven or made on the same system, and the object of theimprovement is to facilitate the introduction and knotting of the woolor material of which the pile is formed and to provide mechanical meansfor this purpose and gen erally for the weaving of such goods.

The improvement consists first in devices duction of the wool forthepile so that the yarn may be passed between, around and over the warpthreads in a manner necessary fewer movements than heretofore, namely bytwo longitudinal movements one forward and one back combined with anintermittent lateral movement, this bending of the warp be ing effectedby said devices which consist of a series of curved tubes, each warpthread being supported in a separate tube, these tubes being preferablybent so that the parts of the warp threads passing from the ends of saidtubes lie parallel the one to the other or nearly so.

Further improvement lies in the mechanism by which the warp threads areseparated to form a shed or sheds for the weft while obviating directattachment of the said mechanism or any part of it to the Warp threadsby which the carrying down of the knots onto the fabric would beobstructed.

Further improvement lies in the various parts and operating combinationsof the mechanical loom which are hereinafter described and specificallyclaimed and serve for the weaving of a trueTurkish carpet fabric or thelike without hand knotting.

Reference being made to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 isaverticalcross section from front to rear of a loom embodying my invention. Fig.2 isa section of a portion of the upper part thereof in a plane parallelticularly thewarp tubes, the yarn hooks for passing the yarn through andaround the warps and the frame holding the shanks of said yarn hooks.Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section through part of the shaft of the saidframe illustrating the cross throw cam for occasioniug lateral movementof said frame. Fig. 7 is a vertical view from the rear of part of thesaid frame, the warp tubes and mechanism for giving to the shanks of theyarn hooks their partial rotatory movements. Fig. 8 is a plan view ofpart of the tubes, yarn hooks and yarn feeds, each pair commencing fromthe left being so drawn as to illustrate a successive stage in thedrawing of the yarn. Fig. 9 is a similar view of the same parts thefirst four pairs from the left showing each pair a further successivestage of the movement of the tubes the pair on the right showing theback loop of yarn shifted over onto the front bend of the tubes and theformation of the Turkish knot. This figure also shows in plan theoperating mechanism for the tubes. Fig. 10 isa Verticalsection showingthe yarn drawn to position 6 in Fig. 8. Fig. 11 is a similar view withthe drawing of the yarn completedas in position 10 Fig. 9. Fig. 12 showsthe same with an additional length of yarn drawn from the feed to leave,after the knot is cut off from the feed, a SllfliClBIlt quantity of yarnprojecting from the feed tubes for engagement of the yarn hook whenanother knot of that colored yarn. is to be made. Fig. 13 illus trates amodification in the form of the free end of the inner yarn tube which iscurved outward to bring the warps more nearly into one plane. Fig. 14 isa section in direction of the warp and Fig. 15 is a section across thewarp showing finished knots. Fig. 16 is a section showing a prong of acomb and its operating mechanism for moving the loops of yarn over ontothe front of the yarn tubes (position 9 Fig. 9). Fig. 17 is aplan viewof part of the comb aforesaid. Fig. 18 shows said mechanism (Fig. 16) inposition when the loop is moved over as aforesaid (position 10 Fig. 9)and also the knot carrier and its knife 9. Fig. 19 shows in plan part ofthe two systems of disks forming substitutes for the leashes or healdsand the mechanism for bringing into action and drawing same. Fig. 20 isa brokenelevation of the upper part of the knot carrier. Fig. 21 is asectional plan view of the face thereof showing guides for the knotstherein and also the ends of the prongs of theloop throwing comb. Fig.22 is a section illustrating the knot carrier embracing the knot endsand knife about to sever the knot. Fig. 23 is a similar view showing theknife in position after severance of the knot from the yarn feed. Fig.24 is a side elevation of the loom showing parts omitted in Fig. 1. Fig.25 is a plan view and Fig. 26 a front elevation thereof. Fig. 27 is arear elevation of the upper part of the loom on a larger scale. Fig. 28is a side elevation of the devices for operating the knot carrier andits knife. Fig. 29 is a rear elevation of part of said devices. Fig. 30is an oblique plan and Fig. 31 an oblique front elevation of the head ofsaid devices nearest the carrier. Fig. 32 is a side elevation of thatpart of the devices for operating the knot carrier which causes thelatter to be unlocked when in its lowest position, and also causes therolling up of the carpet as it is woven. Fig. 33 is a plan view of partof the devices for unlocking the knot carrier as aforesaid. Fig. 34illustrates in side elevation the automatic tensioner for the warp beam.Fig. 35 is a side elevation of the devices for moving the knot carrier.Fig. 36 is a side elevation of the devices for reciprocating the yarndrawing hooks. Fig. 37 is a side elevation of the devices for causingthe vertical reciprocation and also lateral reciprocal displacement ofthe said yarn drawing hooks. Fig. 38 is a side elevation of the devicesfor causing the aforesaid yarn drawing hooks to be twisted on theirrespective axes. Fig. 39 is a side elevation of the devices for twistingthe warp tubes. Fig. 40 is a side elevation of the devices for operatingthe comb which throws over the loops of yarn. Fig. 41 is a plan view ofpart of the said devices. Fig. 42 is a side elevation of the devices foroperating the shedding disks. Fig. 43 is a front elevation of the knotcarrier with its upper batten lifted. Fig. 44 is a similar view showingthe upper batten locked down on the lower. Fig. 45 is a rear elevationof the parts shown in Fig. 44. Fig. 46 is a cross section thereof online 46-46 of Fig. 45. Fig. 47 is a sectional plan view thereof. Fig. 48is a rear elevation of the yarn hook frame. Fig. 49 is a rear elevationof the warp tube frame. Fig. 50 is a rear elevation of the comb rockingshaft. Fig. 51 is a sectional view of the comb, and Fig. 52 is a rearelevation of the latter. Fig. 53 is an elevation from the side and Fig.54 an elevation from the left of Fig. 53 showing the mechanism forfeeding different colored yarns for the pile of the fabric with part ofthe framework of the loom adjacent thereto. Fig. 55 shows in plan one ofthe Jacquard rods of this mechanism. Fig. 56 shows this rod in sideelevation with the yarn feed disk that it governs. Fig. 57 shows saiddisk in plan View.

Referring to Fig. 1, A is the warp which is be, thence to the cloth beamB. The warp' between the rail 0 and the tubes D is substantiallyparallel to that between the said tubes and the rail 0' for saving ofspace and better arrangement of the yarn hook frame and parts behind thewarp tubes. The warp between the warp beam and the rail 0 must pass in adirection to be clear of that part of the mechanism being a series ofdisks with grooved edges which as a substitute for leashes and healdsthrows outward and inward alternately certain of the warp threads toform a shed for the passage of the weft shuttle, these parts beinghereinafter referred to as wing disks. The distance from the warp-tubesto the rail 0' should be sufficient for the proper formation of a shedby alternate side thrusts of the warp threads by the wing disks, a crossICO rail 0 being arranged below the cross rail 0 hooks the object beingto form knots of yarn about each two warps as shown in plan in Fig. 15,in side view in Fig. 14 (where E is the completed yarn knot F the weft)to make the ordinary Turkish carpet knot it is necessary to pass theyarn back between the respective warp threads, around one warp thread,over the front of the two warp threads back around the second warpthread and through to the front again between the respective warpthreads. The ends of the tuft soinserted form the pile. 4 By bending thewarp threads however according to this invention the same knot can bemade by drawing the yarn between the warps at the front around them
